Might want to run malwarebytes, tiggy.
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

okay...
Go to Firefox - Preferences, Advanced
and look over the connection settings. See if there is anything funky there (are you connecting through a proxy or anything weird?)

tiggy, I found this while trying to google your problem:
you might need to get rid of your temp files in Firefox also.
maybe you should create a new firefox profile and try to surf through the new profile and see if that helps.

ran Malwarebytes when i first started having trouble. it found absolutely nothing. neither is my virus scan.
how do i create a new firefox profile? i dumped my internet files a week or so ago and just did my cookies again and i'm still getting the same thing. youtube stopped working first and then all of a sudden yahoo followed right along. though i've been having issues with yahoo's mail for a few weeks now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm going to sell an old computer, and had bookmarked this old post about how to really clean it up: Jon B. "Buffistechnology 3: "Press Some Buttons, See What Happens."" Jan 8, 2009 8:21:38 am PST But I can't imagine I have anything on there that is actually dangerous to share. I guess what I'm really asking is, do I hafta? Reformatting already feels scary to me....
Relatedly, I found the Office 2003 disks I bought for that computer -- should I sell them with the computer, or can I load it onto my new computer? I guess my question is, is the program tied to me or to the machine?

Crap -- now I can't find the AC adapter part of the power cord, although I have multiple ones of the other part. Is it at all possible that my current computer (bought at Best Buy or somewhere) came without one?
